I believe that the truth is the always the best option. Encourage your daughter to ask lots of questions. It's the only way she will learn. Don't be graphic or emotional. Explain that an abortion is a medical procedure performed by a doctor to terminate or end an unwanted pregnancy. I have had many sensitive questions asked of me by my son. Children don't ask until they are ready to know. Your explanation may spark additional questions. If it doesn't then she's not ready to know any more than you have already told her.

in case you do not trust in abortions then do no longer have one. basically have the child and keep on including your infant daddy and stay your existence the way you imagine will make you and your kinfolk satisfied. If this guy is a sex criminal the courtroom gained't enable him take custody of this newborn so do not difficulty about that. flow faraway from the drama in case you are able to. perhaps his kinfolk is declaring such issues as that to get you disappointed and characteristic an abortion. you need to keep this infant you've already got a newborn now this next infant will be someone on your newborn to play with. make your kinfolk finished and do not make an similar mistake again. the child you're wearing does no longer should die because of stupid loopy issues those people are telling you. paintings issues out including your guy and keep your kinfolk mutually. issues take position do not enable anybody get you down or substitute your opinion on existence. solid success i'm hoping you do the right aspect.

Tell her the truth. Tell her that some mothers decide to kill their own babies while the babies are still inside them. Explain to her how this is done:

Tell her that before most women even find out they are pregnant, their baby's heart is already beating (at 3 weeks after conception). Show her some photos of babies in the womb:

This is a great opportunity for you to talk to your daughter about what is right, and what is wrong. She is old enough to understand. I have some pamphlets on abortion that are specifically geared towards teens, as well as life-sized prenatal models of first trimester babies. If you think these would help you explain things to your daughter, I'd be happy to mail you some. Just send me an email. Good luck.

Hopefully you'll tell her the truth. Tell her all the different ways also. you don't want her asking her friends and them telling her some off the wall answer. My mom never told me too much, but when she did I always listened. Had she talked to me about sex and pregnancy maybe I wouldn't have got pregnant when I was 15. Not that I regret it at all, because I love my son dearly, but maybe I wouldn't have spread my legs if I truly understood the consequences. As young as girls are now days losing their virginity, I'd tell her quick....better now than later at the abortion clinic.....

Kids at 11 know more than you know.
Tell her the truth. Abortion is an operation used to get rid of a pregnancy.
This would be a good time for you to instill some values in her life.
If she is old enough to ask the question, she deserves a straight answer from you.

I would definitly say that the truth is better... Let her know that an abortion is an operation to "cancel" or "terminate" a pregnacy, so that there is no baby. Maybe if she learns the truth about it, she can join those that are against it and help fight it when she's older...

You, if you are unsure, could do a bit of research on it. Then tell her the truth, or as much of it as you think she can handle. Honesty is always best. Plus, she is curious. She would probably find out some other way if you don't say anything.

um... not to be rude, but at 11 years old i think its a good time to learn things like that. i think the best thing to tell her would be the TRUTH. and use that as a good interlude to a conversation about how you should wait to have sex. 11 is a nice age for this conversation and helps you keep a more open relationship with her as she gets older.

Just tell her its an operation that makes it so the woman or girl wont have the baby. You dont have to go into great detail.

Be honest, kids are more grown up at 11 then when we were kids. She will hear about it in school anyway.

Good luck!
